~Lost In Time~
Chapter~1 silent companion
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome sighed raising a strong yet delicate hand to her face and wiped away the building sweat from her brow.  Her blue eyes darting over to the young woman standing not to far away from her.  A smirk showing on the other girls face.

"Come on.. thats not all you got, right?" Sango taunted at her. Her fiery smile never leaving her lips.

Kagome smiled herself , squatting down into her fighting stance once more "Yeah , sorry your not that lucky" she teased in a singo song voice as she darted forward towards her friend. Her eyes taking in the other girls every movement, observing, obsorbing. Pulling her hand back she quickly faked to the right just to quickly move to her left and strike with her other hand. Sango's brown eyes widening as Kagome's  fist made contact with soft skin. A sickening crunching sound resonating around the small clearing.


Kagome pulled back immediately. Her breath sucking in harshly as her blue eyes bulged. "OH MY KAMI!! Sango.. im so sorry! I didnt mean to hit that hard!" she stumbled back a step before moving forward to grasp the other womans arm as she slumped down to meet the earth.

Sango's eyes had squeezed shut as soon as Kagome's hand found her. Letting her friend help guide her to sit.  Blood freely ran down her face and between her fingers covering her now broken nose. " Your getting fast, i should have seen that coming" She spoke calmly. Her rich brown eyes opened and found her friends worried, guilty face. "It's ok.. im ok. I've had worse"


Kagome's worried blue eyes scanned her friends face " Here let me heal u, it's the least i can do".  Sango nodded her head. Kagome first wiped her sweaty hands on the thick red fabric of her miko garb then moved them to the other womans face. Gently she pulled at her friends blood soaked hands . Kagome closed her eyes as she focused. Feeling for the power that sat deep within her. Once she found it she pulled it forward and out into her hands, a soft pink glow lighting them. She felt as the blood flow lessened, then stopped all together the bone snapping back into place with a small "yelp" from the woman in front of her.

Slowly she pulled back, opening her eyes . "Sango, im so sorry! I didnt think id actually make contact."

Sango threw a dazzling white smile at her,  brushing her apology off with a motion of her hand. "Sorry? you don't need to be sorry! i'm so proud of you!! you finally hit me in hand to hand combat! I knew you were getting fast, but DAMN girl! " she clapped her hand down on Kagome's shoulder startling her.  " Your getting good at reading your opponent movements too! i didn't even see that fake coming" She slowly stood up wiping at the blood on her face with the black sleeve of her taijiya outfit.

Kagome stared up at her in shock, not fully comprehending. "Your, happy that i hit you?" she scrunched up her face at the thought.  "But i really hurt you! I broke your nose for crying out loud!"

Sango just continued to smile at her "Yep! i am happy!! You hitting me just means im an excellent teacher" she chuckled as she offered out her hand to her friend.

Kagome finally smiled back at her and accepted her hand letting her pull her to her feet. Again she wiped at her face with her hand. Beads of sweat rolling down from her hair line. She didnt even want to think about how sweaty the rest of her was, where she couldnt just wipe.

Sango looked her up and down. "Hate to tell you this but you stink...."  at the look Kagome gave her she waved her hands in front of her quickly adding " but not as bad as me!! "

Kagome burst out laughing at her hugging her sides she smiled " yeah ok i know. How bout a trip to the hotspring before we go back ?"

"Its like your a mind reader.. Really Kagome"
"Your hint was "O" so settle! Im not sure how i figured it out either"

They both burst out laughing again as they headed off in the direction of the hotsprings.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*


Kagome sighed in pure bliss as she lowered her body gently down onto a ledge of the hotspring.  The steaming water coming to rest just above her breast. She turned to look at her best friend  as she sat next to her .

" You've really come a long way sense we started our little training sessions" Sango stated as she splashed some water onto her face and down around her neck. " Kami this feels SOO good"

" Thanks, but as you said earlier its all because of your great teaching. You , Miroku and Kaede have been so great to me. Each of you selflessly taking me under your wing in a way. I've learned and grown because of you all sense... sense.." she trailed of as her lips trembled slightly . Her sapphire eyes turning down to gaze into the water.

Sango quickly moved to her friend resting one hand on her shoulder she gently moved her face up so their eyes could meet using the other.  "Oh Kagome. I'm so sorry. I know these last 2 years have been hard on you. I'd give anything to get the well to open back up. As much as i'd miss you if you never came back i know how important family is"

Kagome leaned into her friend's  soft body. Her eyes tearing up as she spoke " i Know. Kami im sorry Sango, i should be over this now. I should just be grateful. I have you guys, your my family too" she whispered.

Sango ran her hand through Kagome's long silky raven hair. " No one expects you to get over it. We just all want to see you happy."

Kagome's eyes darkened for a brief second " not everyone"

Sango stiffened slightly " He doesn't not want you to be happy. He's just a moron and doesn't realize what is right in front of him. He'll come around Kagome"

"No... He wont. Not as long as she is still around. And even if she does go back to hell someday, it'll never be as it should have been. I'll always know he really chose her. I dont want to live my life as someones shadow"

Sango sighed " and you shouldn't . Does this mean that you are getting over Inuyasha?"  she pulled back just enough to look into Kagome's face, eyes searching.

Kagome thought about it before she answered " im not over him, but im trying. I actually want to be now. The first year was hard, but i was so niave. I thought it would be like a fairytale. That the evil woman would dissapear and we'd ride off into the sunset. But after the well closed i really thought i needed him. Here i was stuck in this savage , brutal world. I thought he's save me. Then as 1 year went buy, then another ive realized it wont be. " She shook her head gently as if it would make all her thoughts and visions of him go away.

"If i can't go back to my time i just want to be happy here. I know the last year has been quite and strangely peaceful. But Narkau is still out there hiding . And Inuyasha is STILL going and meeting up with Kikyou and acting all innocent!! Miroku's curse is slowly getting worse! things are NOT  alright!"

Sango's eyes saddened as she watched her friend. "I know. But they will get better. Naraku can't hide forever. Kikyou will eventually go to hell. And Miroku WILL live. Ever sense Kaede found that tonic  for him he says he can barely feel the wind tunnel getting larger. Those are all just the begining . This is all another reason why we have been trainging you for the last year. And who know's maybe the well will open when we defeat Naraku and you get the rest of the Shikon No Tama back" a soft smile showing on her lips.

"Maybe, but im not going to hope. I used to take for granted that the well would just let me back and forth. It never crossed my mind that one day it just wouldnt work. " she chuckled humorlessly " if i'd have know that was going to be my last time home i would have brought more supplies for everyone"

Sango narrowed her eyes a bit move back from her  to cross her arms over her chest " while your items from your time were very nice and convenient, we dont need all of that. We'd much rather have you" her face softened  as she smiled gently.

Kagome smiled back slightly " tell that to Inuyasha about his ramen"

Sango swatted at her friend. "Like i said before. his opinions mean NOTHING. "

Kagome laughed softly. " Not to change the subject but we should probably finish and head back. its getting late and i bet Shippo is getting ansty"

Sango sighed " good ive been wanting to change the subjest for like 10 minutes now..." she smirked up at her friend.

Kagome smiled then laughed. " yeah yeah. thanks anyways for listening and comforting me"

"Anytime Kagome.. Anytime"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Kagome looked out of a small window in her hut up at the moon. From where she was sitting she could see it perfectly.  ~ almost full~ her mind supplied as she stretched her arms up and over her head. She scanned the small room her eyes finally coming to rest on the small fox demon child she had long ago come to consider her own child.

~ I will forever be greatful for them giving me my own hut... i couldnt imagine not having a place to call my own~ her blue eyes once more shifting to watch the moon. Her silent companion.

*Flashback*

Sango and Kagome smiled to one another as they opened the flap to Kaede's hut, Sango entering first. Kagome following quickly behind. Instanly she was greeted with the smell of warm stew. Her stomach rumbled shamlessly causing her to blush slightly.
"Weeeelll hello Beautiful lady Sango. Very pretty lady Kagome!! how was the lesson? ohh looks like you two had a good soak, should have invited me along and it would have been a party!!" Miroku swayed a bit as he leaned forward and took the steaming bowl of stew Kaede was holding out to him.

Sango raised a brow as she moved set her hiraikotsu down in the corner of the hut. "And whats wrong with him?"  her eyes scanning him over incredulously her hand now resting on her hip.

"Just eat good monk" Kaede shook her head  then turned to look  at the two girls as she started to ladle another bowl. " he wasn't complaing but i noticed he was still in a bit of pain from yesterdays "training misshap" with Kagome, so i gave him a bit of essence of the poppy" she shrugged  as she offered the bowl to Kagome.

Kagome accepted the food gratfully as her blush intensified recalling yesterdays accident . She couldnt have helped it, she just wasn't that good at controling her barriers. It wasn't her fault he had pushed her to the brink off exhaustion. But she still felt horrible . " Apparently  all ive been doing lately is hurting my friends" she sighed .

Sango sat next to her  and grabbed the next bowl of food offered. " oh pishaw!!  we are both fine... im healed and Miroku has some minor burns. we are both fine! Tho did you really need to give him so much poppy Kaede?"

"I didnt give him that much" the older woman shrugged " not my fault he cant handle his poppy"

Kagome looked around " wheres Shippo and Inuyasha at Kaede?"

"Shippo  WENT TO  goo use the little foxs room" Miroku supplied before he took another big bite of food.

"Ye need to slow down Monk or ye will drown in your own soup"  she sighed as he spilt some down the front of his robe and wailed " HOT hot hot... lady SANGO.. come lick this off?"

"Hentai!!!!" she screamed as she leaned over and knocked him over the head.

All three women watched as he fell back and started to snore. His bowl of soup falling to the floor with a clater. A small puddle forming near his legs.

"Did he just get knocked out or fall asleep?" Kagome asked..
"Both?"
Kaede shrugegd again eating her soup. Then she looked back at Kagome " And to answer ye question about Inuyasha, im not sure. He's simply been gone most of the day"

Kagome's face fell slightly. ~ i dont even know why im upset, i should have expected this~
At that exact moment an orange blurr shot in through the door and attached itself to Kagomes side.

Kagome watched as her stew sloshed around dangerously in her bowl before she turned her eyes down to her side where Shippo clung to her.

"Your finally back Kagome!! I've been waiting all day!! " he beamed up at her.

Kagome softend instanly. she set her bowl down and picked him up and set him gently in her lap. Running her hands through his soft fluffy tail . "I missed you too Shippo"

He snuggled down into her instantly "And Kagome, dont worry about Inuyasha. you'll always have me"

With that they all finished eating with the exception of Miroku who just layed there. Afterwards Kagome said goodnight to her two friends and carried Shippo off to her own hut that was luckly very close by. She was beat.

* end flashback*


Kagome sighed frustratedat her lack of sleep. While it was true she was extremely tired and sore all over sleep just seemed to elude her.

Again she stretched her arms bending slightly to one side to loosen up her ribcage. Slowly she stood up , and noticed a red flash blurr across the moonligh coming in through her window.

She moved to her doorway and pushed the flap aside. Her eyes having adjusted to the dark already easily found Inuyasha sitting in the tree he normally occupied a little ways away from her hut.

"You should be asleep Kagome"

"And you should have been here when i got back" she shot back at him. All her bitter feelings rising to the surface as he just sat there like nothing was wrong.

"Keh... like i need your permission to go hunting" He crossed his arms and turned down to look at her as she approached his tree.

Kagome shook with barely contained rage "Hunting? .. HUNTING?"  she said barely able to contain her voice. Her small fist trembled at her side. "Your supposed to be my protector, my best friend and you just lie to my face!"

Inuyasha stared down at her in slight shock. His gold eyes widening a fraction.  He jumped down from the branch he'd been occupying to land a few feet in front of her. "Kagome.. calm down. You'll wake the whole village with your crazy rant. " He put his hands into his sleeves across his chest as he eyed her. " You look tired. You should  go inside"

Kagome lost it as she stalked up to him thrusting her finger out against his chest accusingly. " I should go back inside? Really? Now you want to demand me around!! Your horrible! I'm not even a demon and i can smell  her all over you!! Was it fun? Was her cold cunt everything you wanted it to be? Or have you had it before?" She fumed. She no longer cared what he thought or if he even stayed around.

Inuyasha blanched and took a step back. A look  of  pure surprise adorning his handsome face . His stunned silence didnt last long as shock was replaced by anger. He growled deeply in his chest his eyes narrowing. " Watch you tongue wench!! AND DONT speak of things you know nothing about! You have no idea the sacrifices i've made to help you with YOUR mistake! 3 years ive wasted with you and the others when i could have been with my MATE!"

It was Kagomes turn to be surprised as she took a step back. " M-mate? you actually Mated her? SHE'S  dead tho! how could you do such a thing! Would loving me have been so horrible!! ?? Do i mean nothing to you?" she shudderd with her effort of containg her tears that so badly wanted to leak out and run freely down her face.

Inuyasha softened for a brief moment before looking stern once more  " i used to find myself drawn to you, but then i came to realize it was only because you resembled her. You cant and wont ever be what i want! Your nothing compaired to my mate! when the well stopped working, i was so fucking pissed that i was going to be stuck with you around! i mean shit we haven't even finished the jewel yet!"

Kagomes anger flared once more " you blame me for Naraku going into hiding?? if its all my fault then why havent you been able to find him? or better yet what about your bitch? " She watched as his eyes tinted red around the edges. " Fuck you INUYASHA!! SIT BOY!! SIT SIT SIT SITSITSIT!" She screamed.

Before he knew what was happening he met once again with his old friend the ground.

Kagome stalked over to the edge of the crater and peered inside.

"Kagome, whats going on out here?" Sango asked  as she rubbed her eyes and walked over to Kagomes side. She peered around her and down into the Inuyasha shaped hole. " so your finally back huh? Your so stupid sometimes.. well ok most of the time"

Kagome still shaking turned to look at Sango. Then back down to the now unconscious hanyou laying in the bottom of a pretty deep crater.  "He mated her Sango... he actually did it. As bad as he treated me somtimes i never thought he actually would do this."

Sango's mouth hung open in shock before she closed it and looked from the crater to Kagome. "Kami Kagome, im sorry. He's so horrible. But if you ask me you should take this as a blessing and move on like we talked about earlier. He deserves the nasty bitch. After we kill Naraku she can just take him to hell with her like she wanted to. Your way to good for him!!" Sango stated indignatly anger and hurt for her friend twisting her features.

"Yeah i know.  Hey Sango could you watch Shippo for a little bit? i just need to go cool off. im sure Inuyasha will be out for a while, but if he does wake you can always knock him out with hiraikotsu."

" of course ill watch Shippo. Anytime you know that." she turned her gaze back to the hanyou " and believe me ill do more then knock him out if he's unlucky enough to wake. Actually im tempted to beat him right now just for the hell of it!" Sango almost growled with an evil glint in her eyes.

Kgome smiled just a bit  " thanks Sango" and with that she turned and started to walk off into the night. once again alone with her silent companion , the moon.

Or so she thought. She never noticed the blood red eyes that had watched the whole scene , or as they followed her as she left the safety of her village. A smirk accompanied those eyes as they noticed "shes unarmed"
